Tein EDFC5

Tein EDFC5 Specifications

With the Tein EDFC5 (Electronic Damping Force Controller version 5) system, you no longer have to get out of your vehicle, open the hood or remove the rear linings to adjust the hardness of your suspension! You can now adjust it from inside the car, via a control unit operating the motors placed on the adjustment knobs of your Tein shock absorbers.

In addition, the system allows you to take advantage of an extremely wide adjustment range (choice of 16, 32, 64 or 96 levels) for superior control. You can also keep 10 hardness settings memorized that you then activate with a finger depending on the situation: city, highway, winding roads...

Like the EDFC Active Pro, the EDFC5 allows the individual adjustment of the 4 dampers. It also retains automatic firmness control according to the variations of G force at acceleration and deceleration (longitudinal force), as well as in turns (lateral force), so this gives you the ability to limit chassis roll, control the load distribution left / right when cornering and increase your speed when cornering. It also includes automatic speed-dependent adjustment (note that signal acquisition may not be possible on certain vehicles).

This new version adds to the package jerk-reactive automatic adjustment (longitudinal and lateral forces) to improve performance while providing a comfortable ride. For example, the damping force is adjusted immediately after you start to turn, to adapt it as closely as possible to the curve ahead and ensure precise handling. The damping then softens to provide a smoother ride, absorbing bumpiness while cornering. This mode can be combined with G and speed control for an unprecedented precise adjustment.

Another major new feature of the EDFC5 is its artificial intelligence learning capability. If this function is activated, the system analyses the driver's behaviour and controls how the jerk adjustment is made. The vehicle moves differently depending on the conditions, whether on motorways, streets, winding roads or circuits. Artificial intelligence determines and applies the most appropriate adjustment patterns, eliminating the sensation of discomfort, according to the different driving situations.

The system has two additional external input ports to suit all needs. For example, it is possible to connect it to the handbrake signal for better management of drifts, to a universal switch that the driver can operate depending on the situation, etc.

For simplified installation and wiring, the EDFC5 has wireless control. The control unit is connected wirelessly to the motor control unit, avoiding the installation of complicated and unsightly wiring.

The Tein EDFC5 system control unit features a new 22 x 60 mm VA display for perfect visibility and a tri-axial acceleration sensor for optimum functioning regardless of its layout in the vehicle, while the soundproofing of the motor control unit has been improved to reduce motor noise by a third for quieter operation.

The product offers many other functions: choice of the frequency for resetting the motors to zero, choice of the minimum speed before activation of the adjustment according to G force and jerk, automatic adjustment of the intensity of the display, adjustable display angle on two positions, volume adjustment, self-diagnosis and alert, screen color adjustment, display of the damping hardness level, G force, speed and jerk, or even locking controls.

With additional equipment, it is possible to manage Tein coilovers with separate adjustment of compression and rebound (Super Racing for example). The EDFC5 control unit is capable of controlling up to 8 motors independently using additional control units. Contact us for more information on the necessary parts.

The Tein EDFC5 system is compatible with the Tein EnduraPro Plus, EnduraPro Plus SP Kit, EnduraPro HC Plus, RX1, Street Flex, Street Advance, Street Advance Z, Street Advance Z4, 4x4 Sport, Mono Racing, Mono Sport, Flex A, Flex Z, Super Drift, Super Racing suspensions. To ensure compatibility of the EDFC5 with your vehicle and your coilovers, don't hesitate to use the Tein Europe official search engine. The latter also allows you to confirm the type of motors required depending on the model.

Optional equipment

• Strut Kit : recommended for vehicles with front struts, the Strut Kit avoids the risk of the EDFC wiring getting tangled by adding a stopper bracket
  
  
• GPS Kit : the GPS Kit adds additional functionalities to the system. Among these, the possibility of automatically modulating the hardness of the damping according to the speed of the vehicle, or of simultaneously using the adjustment modes relating to the speed and to the G force. This GPS Kit also provides other information: vehicle speed, altitude, longitude, latitude, distance traveled and synchronized time.
